    Hello all. If this has been addressed, I apologize I haven't been able to find much information about it relating to the CS model.

    I just bought a CS-215J and did a clean install of Windows 7 x64 RC. This is my third attempt now because I can't get everything working correctly. I'm able to get all the drivers installed and components in working order, but I can't for the life of me get it to install the Sony Notebook Utilities so that I can use the touch sensor media controls. It launches, looks like it's installing, asks to restart and once the computer boots back up it starts the install again. But once it gets to that point, the window just closes and the only thing that installs from the Utilities is the Event Service, nothing else. Is there a certain order I should install the drivers or something specific I should have installed before attempting to install the Utilities?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have tried installing Vista x64 and still come up with the same issue, so I don't think it has anything to do with the Windows 7 RC.

    Nevermind! Followed the steps in the AW thread, but with the drivers for the CS, and it worked! FINALLY! So if any CS owners are having trouble with a clean install, I suggest the AW thread!
